MOST COMMON GARDEN LAYOUT
FOR GROWING VEGETABLES
1. Vertical growing vegetable gardens
These gardens are

designed for people having
little to no traditional garden
space. Rather than planting
in your typical garden bed,
you take advantage of vertical
space, growing plants along
trellises, hanging baskets or
even upside down.
2. Block garden layout plan
Also called close row or
wide row planting, this method
increases yields significantly over
a traditional row style garden.
The bed should be 3-4 feet wide
and any length desired. This
width makes it easy to reach into
the bed to weed, harvest or
replant. Walkways should be
minimal and about 18-24 inches
across.
3. Square foot garden plots
are generally set up in

grids of 4 x 4 squares with
strings or wood attached to the
frame to divide the bed into
equal square-foot sections. One
type of vegetable is planted in
each section. If vine plants are
grown, they’re usually placed in
the back with a trellis to allow
the plant to grow up.
4. The traditional four-square layout
is created by straight
paths, one leading
from the garden gate to
the front entry of the
house, and the other
crossing it at a 90-
degree angle.
5. Raised bed/containers
Again, for those having

little space or even inadequate
soil, planting veggies in raised
beds or containers is a great
alternative. With this layout
option, the sky is the limit, as
you have the flexibility in
moving the garden around and
making use of all available
space, including vertical areas.
6. Single Row
the most basic

garden plan
consists of a design
with straight, long
rows running north
to south orientation.
ROW PLANTING ARRANGEMENT
OF CROPS
1. Single Row Planting Arrangement
is either
arranged in
equidistance single
row or in multiple
rows. Planting in
single rows is most
common in
monocropping or
sole cropping.
2. Multiple Row Planting Arrangement
is a system of
growing crops in blocks
or strips of 2 or more
rows. This planting
arrangement is common in
multiple cropping in which
two or more crops are
grown in the same piece of
land.
3. Spatial Arrangement
is the
systematic
apportioning of
the farm area or
any growing surface
for crop production.
TYPES OF CROPPING
SYSTEM
1. Monocrop
is the agricultural
practice of growing
a single crop year
on the same land
and in the absence
of rotation.
2. INTERCROPPING
- common practice of
maximizing the use of
vacant interrow
spaces when the main
crop has not fully
developed, thus,
allowing sufficient light
exposure..
3. Relay Cropping
is essentially a special
version of double
cropping where the
second crop is planted
into the first crop
before harvest rather
than waiting until after
harvest as in true double
cropping.
4. Crop Rotation
is the
practice of
growing a series
of different
types of crops in
the same area
across a
sequenced of
growing seasons.
METHODS OF PLANTING
CROPS IN THE FARM
Direct seeding or Transplanting
direct sowing
is a method of planting is also used to refer to the
in which seeds are practice of replanting an
directly planted on already established
the ground in the farm plant in one location and
or any growing surface. moving it elsewhere.
IRRIGATION METHODS
AND DESIGN
1. Surface irrigation
is where water is
applied and distributed
over the soil surface by
gravity. It is by far the
most common form of
irrigation throughout the
world and has been
practiced in many areas
virtually unchanged for
thousands of years.
1. Surface irrigation
ADVANTAGES OF SURFACE IRRIGATION
1. Management is quite easy, you do not need any modern technology.
If you have local traditional knowledge, you can do it.
2. You do not need high financial support. You can be beneficial with
small lands too.
3. If you have short time water supplies, then this is the best process
for you.
4. If your drainage system is far, then you just need longer tubes
5. This is a nature-friendly system, you can utilize rainwater.
6. It also works effectively in a low filtration rate.
7. Low capital and no energy cost needed.
8. You can use this irrigation process in sloping lands and long fields.
2. Sprinkler Irrigation
is a method of applying
irrigation water which is
similar to rainfall. Water is
distributed through a system
of pipes usually by pumping.
It is then sprayed into the air
and irrigated entire soil
surface through spray heads
so that it breaks up into small
water drops which fall to the
ground.
1. Sprinkler irrigation
ADVANTAGES OF SPRINKLER IRRIGATION
1. Sprinkler irrigation does not require surface shaping of
leveling.
2. Can be applied to areas of variable topography
3. Flexibility is possible because sprinkler heads are available
no wide range of discharge capacities.
4. Cost of labor is generally reduced.
5. Erosion of soil can be eliminated.
6. Chemical and fertilizer applications are easily used with
sprinkler system.
7. No special skills trained personal can operate the system
reasonably well.
3. Drip irrigation
is a type of micro-irrigation
system that has the
potential to save water
and nutrients by allowing
water to drip slowly to
the roots of plants,
either from above the soil
surface or buried below
the surface.
1. Drip irrigation
ADVANTAGES OF DRIP IRRIGATION
1. Increased yield
2. Early maturity
3. Water saving
4. Fertilizer saving
5. Increased fertilizer use efficiency by crop energy saving
6. Labor saving
7. Marginal land & undulated land can be irrigated
8. Reduced weed growth
9. Less problem of disease and pest
10. Makes intercultural operations easy
4. Subsurface irrigation
uses a network of
polyethylene pipes
located just under the
ground's surface to
apply disinfected
effluent in the root zone
of plants, preventing
airborne drift and
minimizing runoff.
PERFORMANCE TASKS
Directions: Make a plan and layout for
your garden. Choose what you want to
plant, the appropriate garden layout,
the planting arrangement, and
irrigation system.
